I don't normally wear the kilt that way. I wear it like an American of Scottish descent. No one in Scotland, I trust, would look at me in a kilt with tshirt and ball cap and say I was trying to look Scottish. And I'm not. I wear my Clan tartan kilt as a symbol of my family and clan and I am definitely NOT trying to look Scottish (no offense intended). Oh, and I wear it because all of my Scottish Mother's sons do.
I did put on a Balmoral in this photo as I was serving in my capacity as Clan Marshall at the New Hampshire Highland Games.

I feel the same as CTBuchanan and wear my kilt for one thing to honor my ancestors. My great grandmother was a Stenhouse, a Sept of Clan Bruce. My kilt is Bruce "Ancient" wool tartan from USA Kilts. And also like CTBuchanan I am the same way as he said also, casual as hell as you can tell in my pic. But I have worn it with a sport coat one time.
